Volunteer dog cuddlers wanted!
Love dogs but can’t commit to your own full time? Could having a dog make you feel less lonely? If you answered yes, then at Barking Mad we have a solution; our hosts get to enjoy the companionship of a dog without the financial or emotional commitment of being a dog owner.
Barking Mad Dog Sitting Hosts enjoy friendly dogs to visit for short stays and holidays, while their owners are away. We organise every aspect of the dog’s holiday, which means we collect the dog from the owners’ home and drop them off with their holiday Host family. On the last day of the holiday, we collect the dog from you and return them back to their owner. So, all you have to think about is enjoying the companionship of a furry friend.
Hear from Barking Mad Host, Jane on why she decided to become a dog sitting host and how being a host makes her feel wanted.
